Orbit 27896 - Easy-Set Logic 6-Station Indoor/Outdoor Sprinkler Timer/Controller

Smart irrigation made simple

The Orbit Easy Set Logic Indoor/Outdoor Sprinkler Timer/Controller is designed for residential systems, offering robust control for up to 12 zones while surviving in varied environments. A durable locking cabinet with two keys keeps the unit protected, and a swing panel provides easy access to wiring for fast setup and maintenance. Built for both indoor and outdoor placement, this timer brings reliable automation to your yard with a clean, weather-ready exterior.

Three programs, four start times each

Plan with flexibility using A, B and C program slots. Each program supports four distinct start times, enabling cycle and soak windows that help water soak in gradually and reduce runoff. An automatic runtime stacking feature ensures that only one solenoid operates at a time, which can translate to more predictable watering across zones.

Practical features for real-life watering

• Manual run lets you test a zone or run multiple zones for a set duration, ideal for quick inspections or spot-watering.
• Rain delay skips irrigation when local weather calls for a pause, helping conserve water during wet periods.
• Push wire terminals enable tool-free wire insertion and removal, speeding up installation or adjustments.
• Relay switch support allows adding an automatic rain and freeze sensor (sold separately) for enhanced efficiency.

Compatibility and installation

The timer works with standard 24 VAC valves from Orbit, Hydro-Rain, and other major brands, simplifying automatic outdoor watering for homes and landscaped spaces. It’s compatible with 18-gauge sprinkler wire featuring 5 or 7 strands, making wiring straightforward for most typical sprinkler setups. Installation steps are simple: mount the timer, connect the common wire to the C terminal, and attach the zone wires to the numbered station terminals. The clean, rectangular cabinet is designed for durability in outdoor environments while remaining user-friendly for quick setup.
